How can you write: “The only real difference is that Rivello managed to actually succeed in his alleged intent to harm someone” when you know that Eichenwald has a disability that was specifically targeted? That’s WHY the headline is shameful: it takes a victim who was assaulted based on his disability, and turns it…

Hey Jez editorial staff. I know you think this is edgy and shit, but can you please delete this?

If the headline is not being ableist against Eichenwald, riddle me this, imagine it composes this way:
“The FBI, Which Still Won’t Address Online Threats Against Women, Arrested Someone For Assaulting a Male Journalist.”
The headline would be plainly ridiculous. It only gets away with not sounding ridiculous by…

Jesus christ, jezebel-writers suck at apologizing! You fucked up, just own it instead of getting defensive and saying you have a black friend. The piece was poorly written. The problem isn’t that a lot of people read it as being offensive to people with epilepsy (seriously, don’t say “epileptic”, ffs!) it’s that you…

You should lean hard on your editors to get that headline changed. I know that you didn’t write it, but right now, over an article with your byline? It’s making you look like an enormous asshole. It’s absolutely minimizing the seriousness of the assault on Eichenwald, in a very offensive manner, and you should not…

I know that’s supposed to be funny but it wasn’t for me. I’m not epileptic but strobe lights, especially multicolored ones, are among the top three triggers for my migraines. I was slowly scrolling down, reading the comments and now I’ve got a big Technicolor blinking frog burned behind my eyes.

The arrest wasn’t just for “tweeting a GIF” but for allegedly causing a seizure. So, yes, your headline was misleading. But rewriting the headline to say “The FBI, Which Still Won’t Address Online Threats Against Women, Arrested Someone For Causing an Epileptic Seizure in a Male via Twitter” make it sound less damning…

I recognize it. As I said, it’s not at a speed fast enough to make me have a seizure. But it’s a dick move. You’re right, I didn’t find it funny. I’m too sensitive around this subject I guess.

You are an ableist with an agenda, and you don’t speak for this disabled feminist. Sorry Eichenwald exposed that you and other Bernouts were being conned by Russians.

Can you please explain to me why this has to be posed as an “us vs them” scenario? I’m not really sure if you’re making the compelling, intellectual, feminist point you think you are. It’s pretty vile to use someone’s epileptic seizure to sort of say it was investigated and handled too quickly compared to the…

Internet armchair quaterback makes ignorant comment. News at 11.

I don’t even know where to start with that headline. Let’s make a list. 1. This was not about a “gif” being sent, and you know it. This was an intentional, physical assault. 2. Our laws treat threats differently than acts of violence. It is also much easier to secure a conviction when actual violence has occurred. 3.…

To a guy with epilepsy, you’re fucking right they’re not too different. Stop being a disingenuous little fuckstick.

Are you fucking kidding me with this bullshit article?

If you have a medical condition where the gif can cause you physical harm, or even death, then what’s the real difference? I see where you’re coming from, but for this particular individual, both are dangerous.

This is exactly the sort of thing they do at Breitbart. Please stop.

This is an incredibly shitty post.

“I did not intend to cause anyone to suffer a seizure”

...But nobody is arguing differently? I haven’t seen anybody here argue that women who are harassed shouldn’t be taken seriously. You’re arguing a point nobody disputed. I did point out that legally, Quinn and Eichenwald are regarded as different because his case would be classified as an actual assault, whereas her’s…

Nonsense. You don’t know an average atheist is an atheist because it doesn’t come up.
